Sometimes people complained about such suatutions, mostly when it comes to the leadership ability, they don't really have the natiion's at heart, like my own country Liberia
Poverty is a result of lack of initiatives related to what you have at hand. So it is easy for people who are well off in education who can know what to do with the little raw materials they have to make tangible projects.i have read more about Ujamaa project which i think was a positive move towards reduction of poverty and individual richies.Lack of skilled manpower,lack of machiney had really put us behind good things.
POVERTY, seems to a monster facing development because the entire world has been commercialised and it looks like the so called "development" is working under the remote control of a particular negative force. Hence a nation whose leadership cannot subject herself to this force obviously cannot develop lest survives.
The citizens may not understand this, they call it "Poverty" but it is a spiritual struggle that all need to join hands together and fight. China seems to be moving in the right direction for now as a true development is taking a great course in the land.
what you think is a gross misrepresentation of what poverty is.Poverty is result of slavery ,colonialism and the historical powerlessness that these conditions created through the mechanism of war.Africa did not invade Europe and steal all its strongest warriors reducing them to property.The arowak indians did not dock at the port of cadiz in arms and with gifts in order to subjugate the spanish.Armaments are manufactured in the so-called developed world in order to surpress and arrest any form of development in the south in order to keep puppets in power and raw materials like oil and Uranium in steady supply.If the truth makes you feel in anyway uncomfortable, guilty or shamefully responsible then go to africa and do your bit to compensate for the rape of a continent which provides you wiyh so much ameinety for so little in return

I quite agree that colonialism was a major attribute to poverty as it created an unimaginable gap between the masters and the slaves couple with the struggles required to catch up with developments.
The word "development" itself is an institution that would always attract the demonic gap. It is obvious that God created all things perfect and the word of God says - nothing is new under the heaven; we are just working upon revelations. There's no invention of man that can be perfect. For this, the masters would remain masters and the slaves as slaves.That is the reason why leadership would remain cultic and developing nations would continue to cry of poverty.
God is the greatest slaver of all mans minds if there is one way to keep people ignorant those three letters are probably the most powerful/G is for genocide O is for obedience and D is for death by disease.The three development elaphants Eupeans spread around the world in the hope that the south would willingly give up its riches without too much of a fight,all around are cash crops for export soya nutrients used in the production of womens make-up while entire generations are swept away theough starvation.God always stands on the right ie the right to abuse power thru G=guns O=oil D-drugs.religous raketeers will burn in hell thier souls will never see heavans light if you beleve in that sh,,,,,all stick to the point.Poverty is a construct of consumtion.The commercialisation of the organic world based on a law in mans bible prescribing that man has domain over nature,Deregulation of morality is where poverty began its journey
